Brake replacement part: what is this thing? [m1009]

One of these came with my drum brake spring replacement kit and also with the adjuster kit. It's just a generic K5 brake kit. Any idea what it's for? I can't find a match anywhere. Wondering if it's some kind of assembly-only retainer clip?? Thanks in advance, guys.

OK, so lack of response I'm interpreting as no one else has any ideas? Thinking this will go in a baggy somewhere as I'm about to reassemble the brakes. Thanks again everyone who looked.

Those are dust covers that "Pop" into the brake adjusting slot on the backing plate. These push in the slot on the outside. Will try to find a picture.
